Rattled Haiku (edited by Corine Timmer)

A message from Corine Timmer:

Yay! Drumroll please. Rattled has arrived and is now for sale. I picked up the books this morning from the local printing company. Contributing poets can buy at cost price. Proceeds go to APOPO HeroRATs. Thanks to each contributing poet for sharing the Rattled journey with me. I hope you’ll love the book. Thanks also to Michael Dylan Welch, Charles Trumbull, Linda Papanicolaou and Djurdja Vukelic Rozic. Books can be bought directly from me and through my website www.bicadeideias.com The tree in this photo is a carob tree. Tree rats nest in it. I think I would too if I were a rat!

"From the editor and publisher of Barking Mad and Hog Wild comes another delightful compilation of haiku themed on the Asian zodiac, Rattled. With this collection Corine Timmer succeeds in sowing respect and empathy for the rodents that thrive in the shadows of our human-centered world. The poems, many of which are by well-known haijin, including Master Issa, may change the way you feel about rats and mice forever." —Linda Papanicolaou

I'm not crazy about rats. I'm actually very scared of it, but I managed to have a rat haiku published in this anthology.
